STAR FIELDS I

For the past thirty years,
the crop circle phenomenon has caught many
people's imagination. The circles are primarily found in Southern England,
where they continuously appear under mysterious circumstances - in the
East Field at Alton Barnes, near Windmill Hill, Avebury, Stonehenge or
elsewhere. Leaving all the many hoaxes aside, neither the source of the
real crop circles (not humans, animals or nature itself) nor the technique
under which they were constructed could be found or fully scientifically
explained so far.

However, some individuals have continuously been trying to give the
impression that all these circles are indeed of terrestrial
origin and simply are a man-made hoax and the mainstream media willingly
adopted this thesis. Despite all these ignorant and rather destructive
activities, at least until the year 1992, it seemed as if an unknown
intelligence of some kind was imprinting its so far unexplainable symbols
into the landscape on a yearly basis, proving mankind its existence with
vindictive beauty and sheer astuteness. It was informing us that it is
highly important that we are made aware of its presence. Our task should
be to work on these circles, even when there was no established room for
them in our little world so chronically protected against any kind of
change.

The first question most skeptics will ask when reminded of these
circles is "How do you know they're real?!".This reaction is
mostly connected to the fact whether the other person is still interested
or just plainly cynical. Many wish there would be some kind of catalogue,
a catalogue that is bursting with calculated results, preferably
manifested within the prevalent natural sciences, proving the seemingly
outlandish and extravagant origin of the crop circles.

Well, this
catalogue actually exists. In "ORION'S ANSWER - Proof of a cosmic
encounter", released in 1996 and published by Langen Mueller, Germany, we
describe the background of a unique and fascinating project. Starting off
as a rather premeditated experiment, it evolved into something we would
could have never imagined - to constant contact with an intelligence whose
origin is most likely not of a terrestrial background. In the summer of
1989 we began the theoretical analysis of the crop circles phenomenon,
using only a limited amount of resources available in Germany at that
point of time. We immediately recognised the substantial importance of
these circles, because - omitting its mysterious appearances - we were
familiar with the circumstances accompanying them, having been pointed out
by several witnesses, regarding our extended research of the so-called
UFO-phenomenon.

A
s the number of publications grew, and Colin Andrews and
Pat Delgado finally published their first book, we were finally able to
investigate this spectacle in a more systematical manner. Obviously, there
must be a certain meaning to these circles, something many other
researchers have come to conclude. However, so far nobody has reached
something of a scientific breakthrough. Because of that, the only
reasonable explanation as to why these crop circles actually occur in this
exceptionally beautiful landscape of Southern England was found to be one:
serving as a means of communication.

After months of hard work and
attentive research, we came to find some significant indications of a
message most likely directed towards everybody on this planet. So in 1991
we left Berlin and began testing our hypotheses against the existing
evidence in the fields of Wiltshire. In doing so, we used a methodology
man has always come to trust: astronomy. We were working by the principle
that the creators of the crop circles and us - defying all the physical
and spiritual differences - are sharing the same home: the universe.

We
have to emphazise that our numerous visits to England were assembled under
private research and not under the assignment of any organisation
whatsoever. We remained open-minded to everything expecting us. We would
also like to point out that the pictograms, which we have been creating
under permission of each of the farmers on a yearly basis, are not to be
seen as forgeries, but as experimental formations.

Without any difficulty
we were able to get into contact with several of the local farmers and
researchers, and towards some of them we developed a certain kind of
companionship. We know that this is not something to be taken for granted,
especially not for somebody coming out of Germany. From the beginning
onwards, we decided to remain in the background of the crop circle-scenery,
even though we have been involved in several related activities in Avebury
throughout the past few years. Some of them were even initiated by us. We
wanted to avoid being corrupted by several of the negative endeavours
constrained upon the whole spectacle, which were embarked a couple of
years ago. Thankfully we managed to withdraw ourselves from arrogance and
self-conceit and didn't fling every single cognition we could find at the
public. Time would prove us right.

At the beginning of the 1990s, a
certain group of people in England started their own campaign against the
crop circles and those related to the research; constantly growing
mistrust and forgery were the consequence. The "Beckham Group",
of which we happened to be two foreign members, fell to pieces. The
audacious deeds of the self-proclaimed exposers came to effect within and
without the whole scenery, but we managed to remain untouched by the whole
debacle and continued our research - and made some considerable progress
within our work.

This continuity is the main reason for us, to finally go
public with the currently available data, after many years of extensive
research and investigation. Many of you have greeted the news of the
cropcircles' appearance with anticipation, everybody in their own personal
way, depending on individual views and attitudes. Many of you realised
that indeed something very special is happening. Others of you might have
rejected the whole spectacle because in your opinion there was no room for
"supernatural phenomena" in this world - everything should have
a reasonable and legitimate explanation.

With the aforementioned book,
released in all German-speaking countries, we would like to bring some
hope to each and every one of you; the one group of people who always
believed that something is out there in the universe, telling them not to
give up and not to be pushed off their beliefs. But also to the other
group, to provide them with something of an adventure in their rationally
visualised and seemingly clarified environment, a journey of discovery
into a vaster reality than the one we've seen before.
